New Land

New Land Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A new world awaits
I'm flying without an escape plan
Break through the gate
Take off, take me on
Break through the sky I will save you

[Verse 2]
I woke up too late
Danger ahead and behind us
Become and create
Here comes the dawn
Crossing the canyon

[Chorus 1]
Fly beyond the oceans
Trying to find a place
Home is somewhere out there
Somewhere you'll be safe
Sleep my child and dream of the new land

[Verse 3]
You won't be alone
Remember, you've all got each other
Crack through the stone
There's silver inside
We'll all be alright

[Chorus 1]
Fly beyond the oceans
Trying to find a place
Home is somewhere out there
Somewhere you'll be safe
Sleep my child and dream of the new land

[Bridge](x3)
Newborn, promise
Soon will be departed
Sleep until we reach the new land

[Chorus 2]
Fly beyond the oceans
Trying to find a place
Home is somewhere out there
Somewhere you'll be safe

[Chorus 1]
Fly beyond the oceans
Trying to find a place
Home is somewhere out there
Somewhere you'll be safe
Sleep my child and dream of the new land

About “New Land”

(Unreviewed)

In an interview with Metal Hammer, Johannes Eckerström said this about the track: “This is the first time we see weakness exposed in the Owl. The Eagle threatens to eat her eggs, so she flies away from the forest to hide them far, far away, and in the lyrics, she swears to protect them no matter what – but it’s an empty promise because you cannot always protect your children from the world. You don’t have to fear a terrorist attack every morning on your way to school, but whether it happens or not is something totally beyond your control.”http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-05-12/avatar-new-concept-album-feathers-and-flesh
